Sign Language - Holiday Signs

If you have a young deaf or hard-of-hearing child, you likely want to communicate in sign language with your child about holidays, such as Christmas. Being able to communicate about holidays in sign language will make your deaf child feel part of the family even when the child cannot hear or understand what is going on. It will boost your child's self esteem, and increase your child's pleasure in the holidays.

About.com Deafness has compiled several mini sign language word reference guides for the holidays:

• Chanukah
• Christmas
• Easter
• Halloween
• Thanksgiving
• Valentine's Day
